Anyone logging fuel pressure on SCT X4? What sensor is everyone using? I just swapped to a return system and would like to log fuel pressure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can’t without an aftermarket sensor installed.

The only people I see logging fuel pressure on 15/17 cars have n gauges and the converter box from a normal pressure sensor.

I assumed I'd need a sensor. But which one??

You can use any 0-5vdc output device to monitor as you well know. Personally with a return system I would mount a 0-100psi fuel pressure gauge in the car and tap off of the available 0-5vdc output many from autometer provide. This way you can datalog as well as have live display on pressure at all times. Simply set up the SCT 0-5 analog input to datalog for 0100 over 0.5-4.5vdc signal which is what the autometer generates. Here's one example.

Ordered a 0-100psi stainless sensor and FireWire cable. Stay tuned!

That'll work. Is it E-85 compliant? Not all sensors will hold up to it.

The aeroforce sensor states that it is ethanol compatible. It's $76 bucks however.
